Hi all,
We've tested direct-push to our exchange servers from a number or JasJars.
When we use Vodafone UK or T-Mobile UK, all is well, the device adjusts the ping frequence and ends up at around 30 minutes for both providers and all is well....
However with Orange, it stays at 480 seconds (the lowest default), after the timeout the device always logs PING FAILED.
We've noticed that Orange uses 3 different gateways on their GPRS network, when a connection is idle for approx 2 minutes it changes randomly to another gateway, when the Exchange box tries to send the packet back using the http(s)-keep alive the connection between the gateway and the device is lost, hence, the keep alive won't be returned, effectively rendering push-mail useless on orange.
They have confirmed to us that they do this to load balance their gateways and seem to have no plan to rectify this.
It's ironic since they advertise the new C600 rom on their homepage stating: "Get push mail now!" when it will only work for the first 2 minutes of each ping cycle.
Anyone else noticed this problem?
Cheers,
Tobey
I don't know if this is why it's not working for you but I just rang Orange to inquire where the push e-mail settings were and was told that it is currently on trial and only those users that received an MMS message inviting them to the trial can actually use it.
I only received a SPV M5000 on Wednesday but ended talking to Orange Yesterday. Apparently they are having teething problems with the push email and it will be about another week before the push mail service is offered.
Even so I have now got push mail working with the standard settings by selecting Orange GPRS Internet as my connection instead of leaving it on Auto pick and using the 'Always on GPRS' registry hack.
I had already tweaked ISA & Exchange timeouts but push mail didn't start working until after applying the registry hack which I found from here.
They say talking to yourself is a sign of insanity, how about emailing yourself through out the day ??? :shock:

I have an SX66, and I have no idea why I can't send any outgoing e-mails through gmail's SMTP. I've tried a multitude of different settings (there aren't that many permutations), and none have given me much luck.
Will conduct further testing. In the meantime, if anyone's got any insight, or have it verified and working, please let me know.
I've heard that there's a registry tweak that may have turned off SSL for connections outgoing, which may be why I'm unable to send (without SSL it wouldn't work). I bought the phone used, so I don't know (the rom and radio's like way upgraded, though, 1.4 or something).
Works perfectly via Wifi/GPRS on my O2 XDA iis as per

Worked ok with me too...send and received
To those of you who are experiencing the annoying warning message about Roaming Charges when manually trying to retrieve Xpress Mail, here is the solution:
Add this to your registry:
Code:
Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ShowRoamWarning
Value: DWORD:0
I don't know if you need to, but I powered down, waited 10 seconds, and powered back up after making the change. Worked flawlessly!
I got this little tidbit from the nice folks at SEVEN, who produce Cingular's Xpress Mail application.
Now, I don't know two things about this, so use it at your own discretion...
1) This might (and probably DOES) blanketly turn off all warnings about roaming ... even if you REALLY ARE ROAMING. So if your plan doesn't include free roaming, you might not wish to make the change
2) It might also blanketly turn off the warning message for any other email type, not just Xpress Mail. I do not get the warning for my other accounts, so I am not sure of the behavior in regard to this.​Anyway, another minor annoyance out of the way for me. Hope I've made some other people here smile today as well.
-pvs
that worked like a champ! to think such a simple solution evaded us all so long thanks again!
Worked great... Thank you for getting the fix... No more warnings
I imagine this is the same flag to use for pop mail in general (I'm using outlook to retrieve mail).
One question: Does anyone know if this affects just the alert and still limits the email retrieval when it thinks you're roaming?
---
Update: The answer to my question is that the phone still things I'm roaming and doesn't automatically download emails, but at least when I do manually retrieve emails, I don't get prompted to proceed while roaming.
Folks,
Have two providers Orange (UK) and T-Mobile (UK). For both of these I have two seperate push email accounts with Getztek.com. This service is great however, I always notice that email pushed through t-mobile arrives within 8 seconds of being sent. It is not the same though for the Orange phone. Mail arrives at various times and is almost always around the 1.5 to 2 minutes. It just bugs me why from the same email provider Getztek sends both emails and yet one comes quick and the other later.
Anyone else notice this and any help to getting the Orange up to the speed of the t-mobile. Thanks all for taking the time to read this
looks like i got it going.. the only issue... i now have 3 accts.
1. verizon.net
2. yahoo.com
3. new t-mo.blackberry.com

thanks..
i have BB connect running n my dash (rogers s621) and changed my plan with T-mo. at one point i was receiving mail and able to send, but i have since uninstalled BBC and reinstalled, now i cant do anything???
when i look at tstatus, under service "not connected" sometime it will connect but quickly disconnect.
also, BB desktop will not start when i connect my dash. (ver 4.3)
has anyone got this working??? HOW????!!! please help!
I have been using my hotmail.co.uk email address on my handset for a number of months now without problems. Went to work yesterday (as I normally do lol) and when I went to send a email through the bulit in "Mail" app upon my return home. I get the message "Unable To Send" notification at the top of the screen.
Nothing has changed, so don't really understand why this has only just happened????. When I then go to have a look at the pop3/smtp settings. It says its ok for the incoming but when I try and go on "next" in the outgoing settings. I get the circle dots hang i.e. where it should be loading and then says "Authenticition failed, for username and or password"?. Re-entered the username and password which is correct, but still comes up with the same message. Also tried changing the port from 587 (I think from memory?) to 25 and 26, but still no luck!.
Anybody know what else I can do?. Just not sure why this has just happened when I have never had a problem before and no settings have changed from the handset :S
I'm having this problem too today - seems it may be a hotmail issue rather than one with the phone
Yeah, I think it was on the Hotmail side as my emails seems to be working now. Not sure what happened though tbh :S. It's funny, cuss its a question I was sure to expect from a customer ringing me at O2 lol (I work for O2 Customer Services). I tend to always get handset related issues rather than network ones LMFAO .
